* Three trips to the lobby to get working key. * The TV was not functioning. * The toilet would not stop running in the middle of the night. I spent 1/2 hour repairing. * Loud construction noise in early morning (Jackhammers and drywall drills)I over paid here by a factor of 10. On my third trip back to get in line at the desk for a working key, I was about to go sleep in my car. The room was freezing on entry (AC set at 60). The TV would not work. The toilet ran loudly and kept me awake. I finally decided to fix it since I could not sleep through the noise. I decided to sleep in. I guess I should have confirmed that with the construction crew. They were breaking up concrete with a jack hammer in the building and using automated screw guns to hang drywall. This hotel owes me a refund!!!! ... more

I did not like the fact that when I booked this hotel there was no mention of construction,so being awakened by construction noises was not appealing, nor was eating breakfast to jackhammers.

Love being 'green', hated putting the room key in light..there has to be a better system. Bathroom/room wasn't really overly clean, found obvious signs of previous guests. Hated the bed and 4000 linens that I felt like I needed a degree to manage.I would probably stay there again, based on location and we didn't have a horrible experience whatsoever.

The location of the hotel was excellent distance from my venue. There was a store and restaurant present so I did not have to leave when I was in for the night. That was my first time using Priceline but it will not be the last.

Poor 2.0
The beautiful lobby and ease of check- in.
In my room, with the outside view of a wall, the heat didn't work, and there were no outlets, beside one in the bathroom, to plug in chargers. The tv reception continuously waved in and out, often in time with the trains rattling past the hotel.There were three crummy pillows for a king size bed, and the funniest part, in a sad way, were the towels. (I regret not taking a picture...) Imagine a towel your mom gave you when going to camp...or...even more apropos...the towel used by a service mechanic at a garage. My bath towel had yellowed stains on it, with strings hanging off at the ends! The bath mat towel also had some major fraying at the ends, too. The hair dryer emitted a slight waft of air. On an interesting note, I was provided with the usual shampoo, lotion (smelled like a floral grandma) and....blue MOUTHWASH! The hotel's restaurant, the Tap Room, had mediocre food.

by Lan Pitts, Newsarama Contributor
For 50 years, Dr. Stephen Strange has thwarted the mystical forces that would harm our realm, defending it with unparalleled magic skills as the Sorcerer Surpeme, Dr. Strange. Co-created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko in 1963, Dr. Strange has been a Marvel staple for decades, making appearances in various animated series, video games, and a recently-confirmed-to-be-in-development feature film in Marvel Studios' Phase 3.
Strange's first foray into movies didn't exactly flourish; a made-for-TV movie that was set to become a series following in the footsteps of the smash hit, The Incredible Hulk. Now being a part of Marvel's movieverse, comic fans are abuzz with who might don the cloak and tunic of the Master of the Mystical Arts.
Following Tuesday's news that Parks and Recreation's Chris Pratt has been cast in the lead role of Star-Lord in 2014's Guardians of the Galaxy, Newsarama has compiled a list of hopefuls that could be up for the task. Yes, the rumor mill is still grinding, but here are 10 great contenders.
Got a comment? There's lots of conversation on Newsarama's FACEBOOK and TWITTER!

This one is a bit of a long shot, but it'd be sort of fun, especially if you play him off of Robert Downey Jr.'s Tony Stark.
Olyphant is best known for his work on TV's Deadwood and Justified (both times playing something of a cowboy type), so something like stepping in the role of Stephen Strange would be fun to see. The past few years he's shown some comedic range with roles on The Office and The League (plus every interview he's in), and he has a charismatic aura about him that screams personality. Olyphant has also shown his darker side playing the occasional bad guy, and Strange, while not a villain, definitely has his mood swings and moments of silent rage.
Olyphant might be the dark horse here, but there's definite potential.
Once upon a time, Eric Bana was the green goliath in Ang Lee's Hulk, which received mixed reviews from fans and critics. Audiences were going in thinking they were getting one type of Hulk movie, and the rest, as they say is history.
Bana has kept busy and put his shredded purple pants behind him, and has shown the type of actor he really is. He might have left a bad taste in our mouths with his green grimace, but I'd be all for giving him another swing at comic book stardom.
Hugh Laurie at one time was mostly known for being a comedic actor, alongside Stephen Fry in the BBC sketch comedy show A Bit of Fry and Laurie. Through the years he was simply one of "those" guys a face you'd see and recognize from various things (he was the dad in Stuart Little), but nothing really stood out.
House changed all that. Laurie stretched his more serious side of things, and while Gregory House had a witty and snarky side, he wasn't known for making the audience laugh as much as giving the impression that he is somebody to fear and respect. Stephen Strange was once a vain man until humbled with broken hands. Laurie has shown both sides of a broken man, and is a solid candidate for the role.
Jason Isaacs is the perfect movie villain, but could he handle being the lead hero?
While most moviegoers know him as Lucious Malfoy, the villainous father of Draco Malfoy from the Harry Potter franchise, Isaacs has shown further dramatic chops over years in such films as Ridley Scott's Oscar-winning Black Hawk Down, and the short-lived television series Awake. He has loaned his voice to the animated series Batman: The Brave and the Bold as well as Avatar: The Last Airbender.
Isaacs has a refined silhouette that would look great next to the rest of the Avengers in battle. And he'd look mighty dapper with that cloak.
As the most decorated actor on this list with two Oscars and another one likely on the way for Lincoln Daniel Day-Lewis is absolutely more of a fantasy than a legitimate possibility, but there's no denying that it'd be intriguing to watch him don the cloak and tunic of the Master of Mystical Arts.
His portrayal of Bill the Butcher in Gangs of New York is one of the finest performances of the decade, and, along with films like There Will Be Blood, defines him as an actor. Yes, his reputation of being one of the most selective actors in the industry makes him a very long shot, but it would most certainly be something to watch.
Sort of cheating a bit here and going strictly on dead-on appearances, but hey, he can't help that.
Joseph Fiennes has defined a certain breed of actor in his almost two decades in the business. Not many actors this generation can say they were in two different movies with two different portrayals of Queen Elizabeth I in the same year. His recent role in FX's American Horror Story: Asylum gives a small hint of him playing a supernatural hero of sorts, though it'd be interesting to see him battle Mindless Ones in the next go round.
Fiennes is known for more of a classical style, but it wouldn't be the first time a Shakespearean actor took the stage in the Marvel movieverse.
Now here's a guy who just wants it.
I've been lobbying [to play Dr. Strange]. There's a whole bunch of people [on the Grey's Anatomy crew] who are into comics and Marvel, too, on the set and they're like, 'Doctor Strange, that's the one you should do.' It would be fantastic." That was Dempsey a few years ago talking to LA Times' Hero Complex about how he's been trying to get the role for quite some time now. He certainly has that whole "playing a doctor" thing down. And there's just something about wish-fulfillment factor, too.
From McDreamy to McSorcery? It could work.
Casting Ioan Gruffudd, a.k.a. Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic in Fox's 2005 and 2007 Fantastic Four films, wouldn't be the first time Marvel has double-dipped. Not ruling out Chris Evans as Captain America just because he played the Human Torch proved beneficial for the Marvel movie franchise, especially if you consider the casting came out of left field.
Gruffudd is a classically trained actor with some serious credentials, as well as a face that comic fans already know. Could comic fans adapt to seeing him summoning powers from the Vishanti instead of making the Ultimate Nullifier?
Having already established himself as a dramatic actor with The Road, A History of Violence (itself a comic book adaptation), Eastern Promises (which garnered an Oscar nomination) and that little thing called the Lord of the Rings trilogy, Viggo Mortensen definitely has both the acting ability and a good dose of nerd cred to don the Eye of Agamotto.
Since the Doctor Strange movie will likely involve lots of special effects, Mortensen comes prepared with some heavy experience working with green screens, so that's also a plus. Next starring in this year's The Two Faces of January, he has the proper resume to make a great Sorcerer Supreme.
Not even going to lie, his goatee is the best.
Of course that wouldn't be fair to make him number one just on that, given his talent and extensive resume. Most known for his roles as Petyr "Littlefinger" Baelish in Game of Thrones and Tommy Carcetti in The Wire, the Irish-born Aidan Gillen has won numerous acting awards throughout his career, and is this list's top pick for Stephen Strange.
Much like Chris Hemsworth in Thor, the announcement of his casting would bring several quizzical expressions and a slew of "who?" from fans. And yes, while Gillen has been had more exposure in recent years, by Hollywood standards, he's still under the radar, unlike many on this list.
Casting a relative unknown for Strange makes the most obvious sense. Some may doubt Marvel's ability to pull Doctor Strange off, but as the success of Thor shows, any hero can succeed if provided the right material and a lead that can deliver the goods.

Asia in LA 2011: Classical Conversations: Crossing Boundaries in Composition and Performance
Video of Panel I from UCLA Asia Institute's May 21, 2011 conference
Published: Wednesday, January 18, 2012
Music offers vivid expressions of distinctive cultures that can affirm social identities at the same time as it creates fascination and wonder for new listeners. Music reproduces and transforms within well-defined traditions and music moves and mixes across times and places to create new sounds and sensibilities. Asian music of many kinds is part of the Los Angeles cultural scene and the study and performance of music at UCLA engages Asia both in our city and overseas. The third annual Asia in LA conference, held on May 21, 2011 at Covel Commons, UCLA, showcased the many sounds of Asian music and considered what we can learn about Asia by listening to its melodies more closely.

It has been a while since I've adventured myself into the world of hackintoshery and left my first-gen all-altered MacMini. Recently, I've decided it was time for an upgrade and have searched around this forum a lot for the perfect setup, gathered some info and went shopping. This is what I've purchased:
Intel CPU Q9300 Quad Core
Asus P5K-E Wifi-AP (P35 chipset, ADI AD1988B 8-channel HD audio codec)
ATI Radeon HD3870 512MB DDR4
Kingston 2x 2GB SDRAM DDR2 800 Mhz
4x SATA II 500GB Western Digital Hard disks (at the moment with a software RAID setup)
and all the other ordinary stuff (burner, chassis, etc).
Oh, and a conceptronic Bluetooth piece internally connected and innerly fixed to the chassis.
So after a lot of experimenting, decided that the 10.5.1 Kalyway distribution was the most OTB solution for this setup. Comboed to 10.5.3 and updated it straight to 10.5.4, running vanilla kernel. Really impressive how quickly this setup setups itself . And yeah, ATI driver support out of the box, running like hell!
For now, all good. But (there is always one, or two):
a. Audio sounds strange when any sound is begining to be produced (a squirish kind of sound, pretty noticeable when pressing the F10 and F11 (volume buttons) on the keyboard and producing that popping sound along with the volume bar movement). Used the Tiruga patch to support all the plugging but still no luck.
b. It doesn't shut down (multi-language screen kindly asking to press and hold down power button appears). Have not been able to find any patch.
c. The aluminum keyboard has to be disconnected from the usb port to pass the CHECKING USB CONTROLLERS phase at bios boot up routine. Can be connected back again by the time of the Darwin boot holding period for custom commands (luckily).
Can anyone help me dealing with this 3 really unpleasant little drawbacks of my highly studied setup?
Thank you in advance!
And happy Hackintoshing!

CD/LP/Track Review
Wes Montgomery: Echoes of Indiana Avenue (2012)
In welcome fits of serendipity, the manuscripts of previously unknown European classical compositions are found in attics, old churches or forgotten libraries and brought to light with no little fanfare. In the United States, there is an equivalent situation with hitherto previously unissued jazz recordings being revealed in the most unlikely places. In a recent example, producer Michael Cuscuna got wind of some unissued music by guitarist Wes Montgomery (1923-1968) being offered on eBay. Due to the short length of the guitarist's professional career, there are many fewer Montgomery recordings out there as compared to his peers of the 1950s and '60s. The eBay listing came to an end, and the tape's new owner, guitarist Jim Greeninger, made a call to Cuscuna that, three years later, resulted in the release of Echoes of Indiana Avenue.
These recordings were made in three different formats, ostensibly as demos for record companies. Montgomery signed with the Pacific Jazz label in 1958 (resulting in Fingerpickin'), so it is thought that these recordings were made between 1957 and '58. Montgomery's style represents a natural evolution from Charlie Christian's groundbreaking recordings of the late 1930s. If Joe Pass approximates Oscar Peterson on guitar, then Montgomery is Count Basie. Montgomery's technicality was revealed in his use of octaves more than his speed or dexterity. His note choice was expert, and in light of his autodidactic status, revelatory.
Montgomery's respect of Thelonious Monk is illustrated by the guitarist's inclusion of "'Round Midnight" and "Straight, No Chaser" in these demos. "'Round Midnight" was a regular inclusion in Montgomery's book, having been recorded by the guitarist several times during his short career. This early example of the jazz ballad shows that Montgomery's jazz language was already well developed. He spins the Monk tune into a classic improvisation that goes where the piano cannot take it. Montgomery's solo development here can be compared to that of Sonny Rollins on his improvised masterpiece, "Blue Seven" from Saxophone Colossus (Prestige, 1956). Montgomery carefully develops his solo within the format of the classic organ trio, burning the already well-worn piece with a soul jazz flame. This is the greatest jazz find brought to disc since The Thelonious Monk Quartet with John Coltrane: at Carnegie Hall (Blue Note, 2005).
Track Listing: Track #1; Track #2; Track #3.
Personnel: Wes Montgomery: guitar; Monk Montgomery: bass (3); Buddy Montgomery: piano (3); Mingo Jones: bass (6-9); Earl Van Riper: piano (6-9); Sonny Johnson: drums (6--8); Melvin Rhyne: piano (1, 4), organ (2, 5); Paul Parker: drums (1, 2, 4, 5); Unknown bassist (1, 4).

In general, if insulation was moldy, it was probably wet. I don't think you could ever adquately dry it out or clean it. Best to get it out, treat mold underneath, and redo the insulation.
Bleach is not recommended as a treatment for mold, and does not necessarily kill the spores. Get professional mold remediation products from a good hardware store.

Rev. Eugene Frost and wife Hattie Marie have been married for almost seven decades. Hattie Frost is the creator of Christian curriculum series and author of more than a dozen books including "The Hattie Series: Treasures of Childhood."

Updated: February 21, 2013 3:08PM
The Frosts of Big Rock, Marie and Gene, have been married for almost 69 years. Gene announces his age, 93, as a badge of honor. Marie, who says she often is mistaken for someone much younger, at first declines to give her age, but then changes her mind. She shares that she is 97.
The small difference in how they react to their ages is a clue to the major differences in their temperaments. But both know one thing. They each married the right person on June 15, 1944.
"You get a glove, and it's the right fit, and you know it," Gene said. "Well, that's what we had. The right fit. You couldn't have had a marriage that was more congenial."
"We are totally different people," Marie chimes in. "I am a blabbermouth."
She then turns to her husband and says, "I would say you are the most humble man I ever met."
Marie rattles off the numerous times her husband was beseeched to pastor large churches or teach at prestigious Christian institutions.
"He was begged to join Trinity (College and Seminary, Deerfield)," Marie said. (The college asked him to join the faculty in the late 1940s after he taught part time there for two years while also pastoring West Chicago Bible Church.)
"But Gene said no," Marie continued. "People didn't understand why he would rather be stuck in a little church in West Chicago that didn't even have a bathroom!"
"I just didn't have the calling to (teach at Trinity)," Gene said in his quiet but authoritative voice.
"I had all kinds of opportunities to teach and to go to big churches, but I never could free myself from the ties I had with people in small churches," Gene said. "That just held me."
When Gene Frost became the pastor of West Chicago Bible Church in 1948, 30 people were faithful Sunday morning attendees.
"I left them with 400 in Sunday school and a new church," Gene said. "In the next church I served, (Westminster Presbyterian Church in Elgin), I started with seven people and left with 200 in Sunday school attendance and a new building."
Hosting dinners in their home was another connection.
"Our big success," Gene adds, "was people putting their feet under our dining room table. We spent our Saturday nights preparing meals for people who would be our guests on Sunday. And we entertained this way for years and years. The root of this was that when I was a kid, my folks did that very same thing."
"Mine, too," Marie exclaims.
Marie sees the world of dining rooms, restaurants, grocery stores, shopping malls, doctors' offices and shopping malls as her places of ministry.
"All you have to do is smile," she says. "You let someone go ahead of you in the line at the grocery store. You start a conversation with someone sitting on a bench in the mall. You comment on someone's scarf in a restaurant. There are so many lonely faces out there, and it takes so little to make a connection."
Having no fear of rejection and being able to take control of any situation also are personality traits that made Marie perfect for the role of pastor's wife.
But being a "pastor's wife" to Marie meant not only helping her husband in his ministry, but also in helping pay the bills for their family of seven, including sending all five of their children to Christian schools from elementary school on up.
She relates in her book, "Hattie Married a Preacher," self-published last year: "I am by nature more of a career person than a homebody."
Her writing career began by happenstance, or as Marie and Gene would say, "divine intervention."
"I was walking in front of a huge building in Elgin," Marie recounts in her book. "The sign read, 'David C. Cook Publishing Company.' Here, I thought, is my opportunity to become a full time, dedicated writer. I confidently walked into the building."
Marie told the receptionist her name was Mrs. Frost and was surprised by the warm reception she received. She quickly was ushered into an editor's office. The editor gave her a writing assignment, which she completed and returned.
The editor, after reading over her work, said, "You're good, but I should explain that the day you came in, we were looking for another Mrs. Frost. She failed to show up for her interview, so you have her job!"
These types of "coincidences" followed Marie throughout her life, from applying to jobs to purchasing family homes.
Gene had his share of divine intervention, as well. He recounts how his engagement to Marie came about in his book, self-published in December:
"During the fall of 1943, my relationship with Marie was a developing one. In fact, I was thinking in terms of possible 'engagement talks' with her. About that same time, my twin brother Ernie came by on military leave, and he handed me a little box. ... He made the casual remark, 'This might come in handy for you one of these days!' The box contained a diamond ring that he picked up in a store in London on one of his transport trips to Europe ...
Gene says one of the reasons he hadn't proposed is he didn't have any money to buy a ring.
"But now, I had one in my pocket! So I screwed up my courage, and went on (Wheaton College) campus looking for Marie."
Gene found Marie, and although she was hesitant about accepting the ring, saying she wasn't sure she was ready to be engaged, he asked her to at least try the ring on to see if it fit.
"She sat there motionless," Gene writes. "I was sitting on the bench to her left, and finally she held out her left hand for the 'fitting.' It fit her ring finger very well, as though she had been measured for it. I was holding her left hand in mine, and she was gazing at the ring. I said, 'Why don't we just leave it there?' She turned her head to look at me, and I knew from her look, that she was pleased with my overture, and that the ring could stay right there. I leaned toward her and gave her a kiss, and the 'deed was done,' we were engaged!"
In his book, Gene recounts many other snippets from his life. In 1943, a young man named Billy Graham was a classmate at Wheaton College. "We were in the same course of study together, and in quite a few classes, which had alphabetic seating, we sat elbow to elbow. "F" is followed by "G": so that brought us together in our seating assignments — Frost, Graham!
Just after becoming an ordained minister on Dec. 6, 1945, he received his commission to serve as a Navy chaplain. Within a week, he and Marie (and their baby daughter, Sharon) were on their way to San Diego to North Island Air Station at Coronado, where Gene served through the next summer.
The Frosts' ministry in the Midwest began at Community Bible Church in Berwyn. Gene was a part-time church pastor, but he also enrolled at Northern Baptist Seminary to continue his studies. Babies came along; Marie garnered much success as a writer of Christian materials, and the ministry flourished.
Marie was happy that she was able to take her children along with her when she worked.
"When I was working for Scripture Press, I had (oldest daughters) Linda and Kaye sit on a chair in the living room of Scripture Press's owner. If they behaved, they were rewarded with a Popsicle. Scripture Press offered me a huge office, but I asked them to let me do my work at home and bring the manuscripts in at night."
Her "Winkie Bear" curriculum was so popular it was used overseas and translated into many languages. It was on the market for 54 years.
Marie glows when she speaks about the many, many works she has had published. She also glows when she speaks about her children, as does Gene.
But Gene is quick to answer when asked if there is anything he would have done differently.
"One thing I have a little conscience about is that we were knocking ourselves out to save the world and neglecting our own kids. We were slipping by as easily as we could. As I look back, I think my kids paid a high price for some of the times I saved the world instead of my kids."
Dr. Gene Frost Jr., who serves his alma mater, Wheaton Academy, as the head of school, doesn't see it that way. Asked about his thoughts on his dad's parenting style, he said:
"I knew my dad loved me. He was rather quiet and reserved regarding his emotions, but I always knew he loved me because he would never miss my games. He was my No. 1 fan."
Marie shakes her head and laughs when asked about Gene Jr. She writes in her book: "The teachers at Wheaton Academy often prayed Junior (Gene Jr.) wouldn't end up in a reform school. I wonder what they think about his being headmaster of Wheaton Academy when his curiosity and creativity doomed him to be a failure in some eyes?"
Gene Jr. said he was certain that his mother loved him as well. "My mom had no trouble expressing her emotions, and she often reminded us kids of how much she loved us and how special we were with a song, poem or a story just about us!"
"I never went to bed without getting the kids together on the bed and talking together and praying," Marie recalls. "And I always thanked God we were physically strong. I used to carry Linda under one arm and Sharon on the other when I walked to Wayne to teach. If I hadn't been healthy and strong, I couldn't have done it."
The Frosts are proud of all five of their children, and note that they each have been successful in their lives and chosen professions.
"Growing up with my parents led me to believe that nothing was impossible and all that was needed to succeed was a little more hard work, creativity and determination," Gene Jr. said. "I always knew there was a God because He was so real to my parents. I never really struggled with the reality of God, just whether I would follow him."
Gene Sr.'s formal ministry lasted 66 years. Twenty-seven of those years were spent at Big Rock Baptist Church, from which he retired in July 2011.
But he continues to connect with and minister to those in the church — and outside. He and Marie still enjoy putting their feet under a dining room table with friends new and old. But now, more often than not, it is in a restaurant.
"Retirement," Gene writes in Addendum 50 in his memoirs, "has been a blast. Someone asked me how come I waited for so long to retire. I told them, 'I think I just plain forgot to do it!' I was having such a good time!"
As for the number of addenda to his memoirs, Gene says it does seem a bit like the "tail wagging the dog."
But he also says it was "stroke of genius" so that he could keep his chronicles "open-ended."
Marie continues to write, and is working on a devotional book.

Spice Blends
In-House Blend
Folks from Kansas City like to say they'll barbecue anything that moves. Pork, beef, chicken, lamb, venison, catfish and even squirrel are just some of the meats given the barbecue treatment in Kansas City. To accommodate such a wide array of foods we increased the herb quotient of this rub. Sage, Thyme, and Turkish Oregano mellow the blend so as not to overpower something as delicate as a Cornish game hen. K.C. Tailgater's BBQ Rub will work fine at stadiums other than Arrowhead.

April 27, 1937. "Capitol's busiest policeman. Besides being an arm of the law, a Capitol policeman has to also act as an information bureau. Frank Foley, officer on duty at the entrance of the Senate office building from 8 to 4, kept a record today of the number of questions asked him. At the end of his day's hitch the total showed 1,568 questions asked, and answered correctly and with a smile, if we must believe Mr. Foley. Miss Mildred Aitken of Brooklyn, N.Y., is the pretty sightseer in this picture, receiving directions from officer Foley."

I absolutely HATE zucchini. I have never found a recipe that can hide its flavor until now!! Needless to say, my family was surprised when I told them what was inside, and I was actually eating it, and liking it!! This is a really nice moist chocolate cupcake, with rich chocolate flavor. Definitely a keeper!,
Omgoodness this is a keeper my family and friends love them thank you for the recipe.
This is by far the best recipe for moist & tasty chocolate cupcakes. I made this and my grandson and son both gave it a thumbs up for future baking.
Everyone really liked them.
I just found a delicious way to use all that zucchini in season right now! Try Chocolate Zucchini Cupcakes. It is excellent. I didn't even bother to frost it since it was delicious without.

Last year more than 1,000 people attended his inaugural Renew and Refocus Conference, which caught the pastor of The Life Center Church a little bit by surprise.
"Anniston really showed out, came out and pulled together to prove just how much the spirit lives within us," Leonard said. "But that was last year. Every year you want to go higher, do more. This year we're expecting even more."
Given the impressive turnout from last year's conference, Leonard had only one choice when it came to preparing for this year — raise the bar.
"We wanted to make it bigger and better," he said. "It wasn't going to be good enough just to have the biggest conference in the area. We wanted to have the biggest conference in the state."
And he appears to be well on his way.
The 2013 Renew and Refocus Conference will take place April 3-5 at the Anniston Performance Center. The conference features an impressive lineup of spiritual leaders, including singer Marvin Sapp, Atlanta-based pastor Paul S. Morton and author/pastor R.A. Vernon.
"These are people we're used to seeing on TV, but never thought we'd get to see in person," Leonard said. "It's a prayer come true and it says a lot about our area, and frankly our ministry, that we can bring this level of speaker."
Sapp's music career spans more than 20 years. The title track to his eighth album, "Here I Am," debuted at No. 2 on Billboard's Top 200 chart. Sandwiched between Lady Antebellum and Ludacris, "Here I Am" sold more than 76,000 copies in its first week, making it not only a benchmark in Sapp's career but the highest-charting gospel song in the 54-year history of the Billboard.
Working alongside his wife Debra, leading multiple churches in two states, Bishop Paul Morton lives according to a slogan that's come to define his expansive ministry — "Changing the way we do church."
In 1972, Morton moved to New Orleans, where he became the senior pastor of the Greater St. Stephen Missionary Baptist Church. He served faithfully there for 33 years, expanding to three areas of the city. Debra Morton now serves as senior pastor of the "mother" church in New Orleans, while Bishop Morton serves as senior pastor of the "baby" church, GSS Changing a Generation, in Atlanta. Bishop Morton Sr. is also the founding Presiding Bishop of one of the fastest-growing movements in America, the Full Gospel Baptist Church Fellowship International.
"They say that pastors need a preacher, and Bishop Morton is mine," Leonard said. "He's had an impact on my life and my ministry."
When it comes to impacting the lives of the faithful, look no further than the Renew and Refocus Conference's final guest, preacher/author R. A. Vernon, senior pastor of The Word Church in Cleveland, Ohio, which has grown from 200 members to a congregation of more than 20,000 since its founding in 2000. The Word Church includes multiple congregations spread across Ohio. Vernon is the author of three books, including his latest, "Dr. R.A. Vernon's 10 Rules of Dating," which promises to be "a lifeline for singles who are searching for answers on how to successfully navigate the sometimes cloudy, unsettling waters of the dating pool."
With such a cast of guest speakers, there's little doubt that this year's Renew and Refocus Conference will continue to build on the previous year's success.
"We're looking to save souls, to bring those lost souls to the kingdom of God," Leonard said. "This is going to be something special."

I am starting the process of migrating the docbook representation of the documentation, into the new Confluence based documentation editor (https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/SAVARA/Home). Once this is complete, the documentation will be edited online, and when a release is being produced, it will be exported to a docbook representation, which will be built as before.
So from now on, no changes should be made to the documentation in the git repositories directly, as these changes will be lost.
As part of this process I am also restructuring the documentation. Previously the documentation was all built in the savara-integration repository, as this project produces a distribution. However some of the documentation is very specific to the other repositories, so better to be stored and built with those repositories.
So the 'Getting Started Guide' will be stored in the savara-core repository, as it is an overall tutorial for testable architecture and spans many of the tools and capabilities (or it will).
The other document that will go in the savara-core repository is the Developer Guide, as in general developers will be using the core modules or atleast their apis.
Currently there are two tool repositories, savara-tools-eclipse and savara-tools-web. Both of these repositories will have a User Guide document explaining how to use the tools.
Finally the savara-integration project is likely to have a Configuration or Installation Guide relates to the various integration options that are available - possibly one per target platform (e.g. JBoss, Tomcat, etc).
The Getting Started Guide has not been fully ported: https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/SAVARA/Getting+Started+Guide - so this should make collaborative editing easier.
I need to update the BPEL example based on the new purchasing four participant version, so this section isn't finished yet.
As it may take a bit longer to sort out service validators for AS7 (switchyard/jbossas), I have removed the runtime validation sections from the getting started guide, and will probably change the downloads section to just point to the Eclipse update site. Once we start getting server side runtime validation components on AS7, then I will re-introduce those sections.

At his first news conference of the year, the U.N. chief says, "The calamity in Syria is without doubt our main immediate test."
Ban on Tuesday said he conferred Monday with special envoy Lakhdar Brahimi and that "our shared assessment is that we are still a long way from getting the Syrians together."
The secretary-general says the humanitarian situation in Syria is worsening, with millions struggling to survive in a harsh winter with little food and shelter.
Ban says more than 650,000 people have fled the country.

Covance Code ofRespect for Animals inResearch and Development
Many lifesaving advances in medicine and safety of the last century have drawn from the scientific discoveries of animal research and development. Examples include treatments for AIDS, cancer, diabetes, heart-related ailments, injury-induced trauma, and many other maladies. Today, animal testing remains absolutely crucial to saving more human and animal lives and to Covance's mission to help our clients bring safe and effective new medical advances to those who need them.

You can see the MIHOW video and others on the Center for Community Health Solutions'
You Tube Channel.
You can also like us on Facebook.
The Maternal Infant Health Outreach Worker (MIHOW) Program is a parent-to-parent intervention that targets economically disadvantaged and geographically and/or socially isolated families with children birth to age 3. The program is designed to improve health and child development among these families. MIHOW employs parents from the local community as outreach workers and role models, who educate families about nutrition, child health, and development, and positive parenting practices. The outreach workers also provide links to medical and social services.
The MIHOW Program is a partnership between Vanderbilt University Center for Community Health Solutions (CHS) and community-based organizations. Through monthly home visits and parenting groups, MIHOW promotes healthy pregnancies, healthy children and healthy emotional bonds between children and their parents. MIHOW workers make more than 12,500 home visits per year to 1100 families in Nashville and throughout the Southeast.
The target population is pregnant women and families with young children (birth to three) who are economically disadvantaged and geographically and/or socially isolated. MIHOW programs serve families in rural and inner city areas throughout the mid-South, including Appalachia and the deep South. The program serves Caucasians, African-Americans, and Hispanics. Most participants learn about the program from friends or neighbors. Outreach workers also seek out prospective participants by establishing relationships with community organizations that are serving families in need.
MIHOW recently published an article in the Journal of Health Care for the Poor and Underserved.

The recent animated features by the Pixar division of Disney—"The Incredibles," "Ratatouille," "WALL-E," and now "Up"—have amounted to a run of creative success that has few parallels in American popular culture. Yes, there was the classic Disney group of animated features, released between 1937 and 1942, which included "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," "Pinocchio," "Bambi," and "Dumbo." Children still love them, though this aging child doesn't, really. The old Disney dispensation went roughly as follows: The material was largely based on fairy tales, with princes and queens and wicked stepmothers. Animals with long eyelashes engaged in gentle woodland conversation. There was much anthropomorphic charm, much sweet melodiousness, and, running through the sugar, a vinegary taste of fear, separation, punishment. The entire Bruno Bettelheim catalogue of psychological terrors churned below the surface. By now (for me, at least), the cloyingness, with its malevolent undertones, seems too calculated and heavy-spirited. But the recent Pixar films are something else. These movies are fashioned as much for adults as for kids. Set in the modern world, they are built around an exhilarating drive for achievement. A family of libertarian superheroes refuses to accept enforced mediocrity ("The Incredibles"). A talented rat wants to practice the art of cooking ("Ratatouille"). A robot saves the aesthetic remnants of a civilization ruined by excess and pollution ("WALL-E"). Some of the characters are isolated; they are all intelligent and strongly motivated. We've gone from psychological fable to moral fable, from fate to something like self-willed, even civic, passion.
"Up," which begins in the nineteen-thirties, is steeped in the style of that period, with its gee-whiz appreciation of exotic adventure and its worship of heroes who have journeyed to strange, distant places. A little boy, Carl, watches newsreels at a theatre, and sees an explorer, Charles Muntz (Christopher Plummer), first celebrated then humiliated: no one believes the skeleton of a large flightless bird that Muntz has brought back from South America is authentic. When Carl leaves the theatre, he imagines the newsreel narrator describing his walk home, turning his stepping over a crack in the sidewalk into a vault over a canyon. It's a gracious moment: the co-directors, Pete Docter and Bob Peterson, who also wrote the screenplay, pay affectionate tribute to daydreaming as a noble and necessary human activity. In dreams begin responsibilities, and in dreams begin movies, too.
A little tomboy, Ellie (Elie Docter, Pete's daughter), bursts into Carl's world, and, in a rapid, wordless montage, we see their long life together—wedded bliss and also, painfully, the slow extinction of many hopes, including a desire that they, too, will have great adventures in South America. The marital sequence is one of the most moving animated episodes ever made. It's like looking through a family photo album and knowing that every picture represents a crucial moment of experience. The doll-like figures only increase the pathos—Ellie, seen deep within the frame, becomes smaller and more and more bent as she sweeps their little house. When she dies, the elderly Carl, now known as Mr. Frederikson (Ed Asner), is left with nothing but a scrapbook, called "My Big Adventure," which she kept when she was young. Grouchy and cut off—the filmmakers based his snarl and snap on that of a George Booth old guy—he pretends to be more decrepit than he is. When he gets pushed too far, however, he revolts, attaching thousands of helium balloons to his house, which is about to be demolished, and heads, at last, for South America. The house takes off, but with an unwanted stowaway—a chubby little round-faced Wilderness Explorer in shorts, Russell (Jordan Nagai), a version of the youthful Carl. But this boy doesn't need to dream; he just acts, rolling into trouble. The never-achieved adventure begins. Carl will renew his ties with his dead wife and embrace the child they never had.
"Up" is being distributed in both 2-D and 3-D formats. The third dimension lends the characters palpability. Carl has a square, blocky head and a blocky body; the boy has a circular face with a bump for a nose. Neither of them is very big, but they look solid, weighted. When they reach South America, they immediately stumble upon the legendary bird—a gorgeous fantasia of purple and red, with an enormous beak and the flexibility of an Olympic gymnast. It turns out that Muntz has been there for years, hiding out near a gigantic waterfall, trying to catch the creature so that he can restore his reputation. He is aided by a pack of dogs, with thick, damp jowls and snouts. Except for one or two shots, however, Docter and Peterson never exploit the obvious 3-D opportunity of fangs snapping in the viewer's face. Their use of the technology is relatively chaste; they're not particularly eager to shock us. They keep their eyes on the story, and on the bond that develops between Carl and Russell. For the filmmakers, 3-D is a narrative tool, which works only if what it is enhancing is strong to begin with. After chases and spills and much scurrying over bare mountain buttes, an intricate fight unfolds in the sky. On one side are Carl and Russell, held aloft in Carl's house; on the other, Muntz, commanding an enormous dirigible. Russell falls out of the house and winds up clinging to some balloons, and, as he swings from one place to another, you can feel the air around him. Airiness has become a medium to pass through, not just dead space. Animation may be the perfect place for 3-D.

This is the first time I've purchased a product of this kind and I must say I am impressed! Only a drop or two is required and your polish dries almost instantly!! Will definitely be purchasing more!
I'm always so crunched for time that I find myself only being able to paint my nails shortly before bed. Without a drying product, I basically can't paint my own nails. But this stuff works incredibly well and stands up to sleeping with freshly painted nails.
I don't think this product makes my nail polish dry any quicker than without it. I thought it was no longer tacky, but it didn't harden at all, and led to me smudging my nail polish. Not super effective...
This little number does exactly what it says it does. It definitely speeds up the drying process ten fold! Love this stuff and highly recommend. Works better than Seche Vite, which was my favorite until now! A little goes a long way!
I was very hopeful about this product after reading the reviews as I would love to wake up without sheet marks on my nails! I'm not sure if I am doing something wrong...but they are still there. This does not seem to speed up my nail dry time.
I LOVE this product! I use it every single time I paint my nails and it really does dry them in an instant. My nails never any smudges, imprints, smears, etc. when I use this product (which is all the time!).
This really works, as long as you make sure to apply at top of nail and allow it to flow to tip. Went to bed after painting nails and woke up without smudges or sheet prints. Didn't notice a bad smell like in other reviews
I purchased this product after reading all the wonderful reviews. I was extremely disappointed. I painted my nails and applied this 2 hours prior to going to bed. Woke up in the morning with lines and bed sheet smudges, on several occasions. Don't waste your money!
This definitely works, but the scent is so strong! I paint 2 coats and a top coat and I can definitely notice a faster drying time. I accidentally spilled half of the bottle trying to take off the top with wet nails, so be careful!
Definitely dries my nails. I do 2 coats of color plus a clear coat, and this has no issue drying it. The smell though is way too strong. It lingers long after drying and repeated hand washing. Makes me wonder what kind of chemicals I am putting on my body...

Department of Health and Kinesiology
The Department of Health and Kinesiology offers Bachelor of Science degrees for students majoring in Health, Kinesiology, and Nutrition and Dietetics. Minors in Health and Athletic Coaching and a Certificate in Athletic Coaching are also offered.
The Health degree provides students the opportunity to prepare for health careers in city, county, state and national government health agencies; corporate wellness programs; and voluntary health agencies. The degree requires both academic coursework and practical experience via an internship and helps to prepare students for admission to graduate programs in public health and health promotion. Students interested in pursuing a major or minor in Health are required to consult with the Advising and Certification Center of the College of Education and Human Development.
Students pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree in Kinesiology will select a concentration in athletic medicine, exercise science and wellness, or physical education. Students with a concentration in athletic medicine are prepared to pursue careers in athletic training, physical therapy, or occupational therapy. Physical and/or occupational therapy licensure requires additional academic training in an accredited graduate program. Students interested in pursuing licensure in athletic training must apply and be accepted into the athletic training program at UTSA. Students with a concentration in exercise science and wellness are trained for careers in exercise physiology, clinical exercise, and fitness programming in corporate, commercial, and public settings. Graduates of this concentration are prepared for professional certifications in fitness and exercise physiology. The physical education concentration provides students the academic and professional experience as required by the State Board for Educator Certification. To be certified as a teacher by the State of Texas, a student must complete his or her coursework, have practical teaching experience (student teaching), and pass the Texas Examinations of Educator Standards (TExES). The graduate of this program will then be certified to teach physical education in grades pre-kindergarten–12.
Department Honors
The Department of Health and Kinesiology awards Department Honors to certain outstanding students and provides the opportunity for advanced study under close faculty supervision.
Selection of honors designation is based on the student's academic performance and recommendation by the faculty of the student's major discipline. To be eligible for the program, students must have a minimum overall grade point average of 3.0 at UTSA and a minimum grade point average of 3.5 in their major at UTSA. The minimum grade point averages must be maintained for students to receive the approval of the Department Honors Committee and the discipline faculty. Students applying for Department Honors are expected to enroll in the appropriate honors thesis course during their final two semesters. The completed thesis must be approved by the supervising faculty sponsor and another departmental faculty member. Students interested in this program should contact their professors for additional information.
Internship Policy
Experiential learning is a valuable element for health and kinesiology professionals. An internship enables the student to gain practical experience as a professional under conditions conducive to educational development. The internship is a time-limited, supervised period of health or kinesiology education activities carried out in a kinesiology- or health-oriented organization. All Health and Kinesiology majors who are not in Teacher Certification options are required to complete an internship (6 semester credit hours, 360 hours of time on site).
Internship Eligibility
Health and Kinesiology majors are eligible to apply for an internship if they:
- have completed all degree requirements of the major and support work
- have a minimum grade point average (GPA) of 2.0
- are within 12 hours of graduation (including the 6 hours of the internship).
Students who do not meet the GPA requirement will not be allowed to complete the internship. The department advisor will assign students who do not meet the GPA requirement two upper-level courses (3 credit hours each) to take in place of the internship course.
Mandatory meetings are held in the semester prior to the student's enrolling in the internship. Meeting dates for each semester are published in the UTSA Class Schedule. These meetings are held in June (for Fall), October (for Spring), and March (for Summer). Students are required to meet with their academic advisor prior to the meeting to verify that they are eligible for the internship. This must be done by October 1st, March 1st, or May 1st for the respective internship meeting. An e-mail will be sent within the first week of classes to all Kinesiology and Health majors with more than 110 semester credit hours, to inform them of this requirement and to ease the burden on the advising staff. Students must bring a signed degree plan from their advisor to the mandatory internship meeting.
Students who miss the meeting must contact the department internship coordinator no later than three business days after the missed meeting to make special arrangements. Failure to do so will result in being ineligible for the internship in the following semester. Extenuating circumstances must be documented and will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
Students requesting an internship at a site that requires a criminal background check are responsible for having the background check completed and submitted to the internship site for approval. Students are responsible for paying any fees associated with the completion of the background check. Students must have the background check completed and accepted by the internship site when the work plan for the internship is submitted.
Appeal Process
Students who wish to appeal the internship requirement due to prior work experience may do so by completing and submitting the appeal form, available in the COEHD Advising and Certification Center, with written documentation to a three-member review committee. Prior work experience is defined as a minimum of three years full-time work experience in the field of the respective degree. Written documentation submitted with the form includes: 1) a letter from the student detailing his or her work experience, how it fits his or her degree plan, and his or her career goals; 2) the student's resume; and 3) a letter from his or her work supervisor verifying employment and stating the extent of their job responsibilities and the relationship to the degree. The appeals packet must be received by the department internship coordinator no later than October 7th, March 7th, or May 7th, for the Spring, Summer, or Fall semesters, respectively. The committee will meet prior to the internship meeting to discuss the appeals and make a recommendation to the Department Chair. Students who are denied appeals must attend the internship meeting and complete the internship.
